[imp] What IMAP Server?

[Oliver]

The UW-Server is working perfectly here under Mandrake 8.1, 
with IMP 3.0 and 3.1 RC2.
PHP itselfs use the UW C-Client library.
I think that IMP will work with
every IMAP Server which is conform to the standards,
while PHP uses the C-Client libary or some other library
which is conform to the standards.

Each server has his benefits.
Some benefits are extentions to IMAP (quotas, server side filtering).
Insofar as I have seen, IMP "only" provides the standard IMAP functions
to the user. 
This means that a IMAP server (like cyrus for exampel) which support such
extentions, will need a client which will enable the user to use 
this extentions (SilkyMail for example).
On the other hand cyrus is faster than the UW-Server but cyrus use its
own file format.
The UW-Server in contrast can handle many formats.
Thats very positive if you have already a non cyrus maisystem in use. 
Also the UW Server runs out of the box via inetd.
There is not much configuration work to do for you.   

Maybe the comp.mail.imap newsgroup can help you to find a server which will
fit your needs.

Oliver

Subject: Re: [imp] How to get from IMP 2.2.7 to 3.0 without loosing mail...

IMP has nothing to do with where or how you keep your messages.
You mentioned what kind of web server you using , but you did not mention what 
kind of mail server you run. 
There is no need to backup your messages for IMP upgrade (not to say that you 
shouldnt backup at all ;)

just get new horde/imp install it folder different from your current one, get 
it configured. if it satisfies you than move old horde/imp away and put new one 
in its place.

Also note that you can try to upgrade your old imp to new one using cvs, but I 
wouldnt recommend it. In my expirience upgrades sometimes screw up imp install, 
especially if original imp was modified.


PS 
question for imp developers, would it make sense to add another option to 
language selection in user preferences, which will allow user to specify if he 
wants to use choosen language during message composition/replies?
As you see in this message the "Quoting" is written in Russian, since that is 
the language I use in IMP interface. Since this is an English speaking list, as 
most other lists I am subscribed to, I generally wouldnt want to put Russian 
words in message body.
I tried couple of other translations and most of them do put 
translated "quoting" in body.

I dont want to choose between - "use language everythere" or "dont use at 
all".I understand that I can change translation files, but may be some other 
user who is subscribed to Russian list will want to use Russian in email 
responses...
